摘要
The review paper aims to learn more about the effects of abiotic variables on myrmeco fauna diversity and distribution in different eco environments. Additionally, the study examines in order to produce information on myrmecofauna disturbance dynamics and enable us to see if habitat eradication is reflected in ant diversity or its lifestyle helps to buffer against these perturbations. The study explores an insight into natural history visual examinations where ant pest relationship can be explored further and can point to an incipient role of agricultural crops in ant conservation, balancing economic gains with augmenting ant species diversity. The study reveals significant associations between abiotic factors such as temperature, rainfall patterns, and ant diversity and abundance. Ant communities respond predictably to land changes in agroecosystems, making them potential bioindicators of soil condition and management. The findings emphasize the importance of preserving biodiversity for sustainable development and ecological stability. Further investigations into abiotic-ant relationships can guide conservation efforts and ecosystem management.
